You still can't use cruise control on a tesla safely because they refuse to put in a normal cruise control option and their traffic aware one still slams the brakes inappropriate at intermittent times. And careful! If you are about to tell me YOUR Tesla cruise control works fine, it is just a matter of time before it doesn't. We have all been there. auto wipers are still also wonky because the ambition is to do it with vision but they haven't figured that out yet either.

I love the Autosteer. I just did a cross country trip with it. I did get 2 or 3 of those brake slamming moments though (they keep it...interesting?). Auto wipers aren't there yet. I agree with you. Also, often when I would say "Wipers off", it would try to navigate to "Microsoft". The voice recognition is not quite ChatGPT smart.

  I rest my foot on the accelerator pedal so that I can react quickly when using AP. "Interesting" translates to "my wife gets irritated when I engage AP" because the occasional phantom braking destroys any sort of confidence she has in the car. > Auto wipers aren't there yet. They are better than my first Model 3 in 2019. But not that much better, and it is 2023. Auto wipers will work on a Tesla as soon as they start using the ubiquitous $5 IR sensor everyone else has been using for the last few decades, and not a moment sooner. > The voice recognition is Incredibly shitty, that's what it is. Let's just admit that. It gets used as an excuse for all the missing controls, but it's pretty awful. They should just offer a retrofit stalk that has proper wiper controls on it. On most other mainstream manufacturers that would be easy, the stalk is just a module that hooks into the CAN bus and is replaceable with two screws.

  The voice recognition is bottom of the barrel. It makes Siri seem incredible. I've more or less given up on being able to reply to a text or make a call by voice command.

  I don't understand how even one of those brake slamming moments isn't sufficient to stop using that feature forever. I am extra circumspect when driving around Teslas as a result of this seemingly common and extremely disconcerting flaw.

  >I did get 2 or 3 of those brake slamming moments though (they keep it...interesting?). Also keeping it nice and interesting for the unsuspecting people in the cars behind you. Tesla, and the interesting fools who buy and drive them on public roads, can seemingly be relied upon to keep things interesting for everyone. Fully self driving ludicrous mode beta, keeping things interesting, because interesting is what everyone wants on public roads... Thanks Elon!
